Thank you for your message! Thermage is very safe. Really only any patient can have it, unless you have an active infection on the area or if you have an electrically implanted device. The results of the Thermage are seen within 2-6 months and it can be repeated 1-2 times a year! The idea is for...
Hi, If you go on to the Solta Medical Website, the manufacturers of Thermage, you can see some impressive before and after knee photos. Since it is difficult to treat saggy skin above the knee short of cutting the groin skin and pulling all the skin up from the knees which is not a...
